Default How long a nap on Minky can you quilt?

I have had great success using Minky on the back of quilts and running them through a Statler longarm machine. I have used the rather short (3mm) nap product as well as the dimpled style with no issues.

Would like to hear about anyone's experience using the rose patterned Minky or the ones with the rather long nap.

Thanks in advance---

Dale

Just laughing at myself. When I read your title quickly I thought, "Yeah, taking a nap on minky would be so great! Bet I could sleep for hours on it!" I've never used it myself, so can't answer your question now that I understand it.
LOL

I have quilted I think all of the different Minky's on my APQS Longarm with no problems. There was one that the gal had gotten I believe at Hancock fabrics that reminded me of fake fur (really long nap)but it really was a minky and when I started with it I wasn't sure about it. But in even quilted up nice. As long as the biggest stretch goes east and west I have never had a problem and really like how the minky looks quilted up.
